Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 11111-6 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 72, Textile machinery and machinery for dry-
cleaning and industrial laundering, Subcommittee SC 8, Safety requirements for textile machinery.
This first edition of ISO 11111-6, together with ISO 11111-1, ISO 11111-2, ISO 11111-3, ISO 11111-4,
ISO 11111-5 and ISO 11111-7, cancels and replaces ISO 11111:1995, which has been technically revised.
ISO 11111 consists of the following parts, under the general title Textile machinery — Safety requirements:
 Part 1: Common requirements
 Part 2: Spinning preparatory and spinning machines
 Part 3: Nonwoven machinery
 Part 4: Yarn processing, cordage and rope manufacturing machinery
 Part 5: Preparatory machinery to weaving and knitting

ISO 11111-6:2005(E)
Introduction
ISO 11111-1 to ISO 11111-7 were prepared simultaneously by ISO/TC 72 and CEN/TC 214 and adopted
under the Vienna Agreement in order to obtain identical standards on technical safety requirements for the
design and construction of textile machinery.
ISO 11111 as a whole is intended for use by any person concerned with the safety of textile machinery, for
example, textile machinery designers, manufacturers and systems integrators. It is also of interest to users of
textile machines and safety experts.
This document is a type C standard as stated in ISO 12100-1. The various parts of ISO 11111 deal with
frequent and significant hazards generated by machines used in the textile industry. The machinery
concerned and the extent to which hazards are covered are indicated in the scope of this standard.
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the
provisions of this type C standard take precedence.
For hazards of machines or machine elements not dealt with in the relevant part of ISO 11111, the designer is
to perform a risk assessment according to ISO 14121 and evolve means for reducing the risk from significant
hazards.
This part of ISO 11111 is intended to be used in conjunction with ISO 11111-1. As far as possible, the
requirements of this part of ISO 11111 are treated by way of reference to Clauses 5 and 6 of ISO 11111-1.
Clause 5 of ISO 11111-1 contains safety requirements and/or measures for frequently occurring hazards of
textile machinery which apply whenever referred to in this part of ISO 11111, while Clause 6 describes
significant hazards and corresponding safety requirements and/or measures for certain machine elements and
their combinations (e.g. rollers), which also apply whenever referred to in this part of ISO 11111.

ISO 11111-6:2005(E)
Specific safety requirements
a) Start-up by unintended or inadvertent actuation shall be prevented by start controls designed so as to
reduce the risk of an operator either inadvertently actuating the control (e.g. by leaning on it) or actuating
the wrong control (e.g. starting at normal speed instead of reduced running speed), see
ISO 11111-1:2005, Table 6. Such controls may be
1) two-button control devices, or
2) control actuators with a movement different from other control actuators (e.g. pull out instead of
press).
b) Guards and/or safety devices shall be provided for the crushing and shearing points between the reed
and fixed parts such as temple assembling (including temple cover, temple trough and temple support) or
“down-holder” or cloth table in order to prevent the machine starting to move (start-up protection) when
the operator's fingers are in the danger zone (see Figure 1). This includes start-up for
 single pick insertion,
 normal production speed,
 reduced running speed, and
 restart after automatic broken weft removal.
This safe-guarding may be in the form of the following:
1) trip device(s), e.g. active-opto-electronic protective devices (AOPD), complying with type 2, as
defined in IEC 61496-1 and IEC 61496-2, which, if in the form of AOPD, shall be in accordance with
ISO 11111-1:2005, Table 3 — i.e. reaching the hazard zone shall not possible without activating the
AOPD (see Figure 1) — and may be deactivated immediately after the machine has reached its
normal production speed, unless used additionally to protect the danger zone between the moving
sley and fixed machine parts [see 5.2.1 c)];
2) movable interlocked covers, covering the crushing area between the temple and the reed, designed
to prevent finger access.
c) Guards or safety devices shall be provided for the crushing, shearing and impact points to the left and
right of the shed between the ends of the moving sley and fixed parts of the machine, during both start-up
and normal running. These may be in the form of one of the following:
1) adjustable fixed guards;
2) movable interlocked guards;
3) trip devices so positioned that the danger zones cannot be reached before the machine has stopped
and so designed that the machine cannot be restarted as long as parts of the body are inside the
danger zone, and which type of safety device may, for example, be fitted to slow-running, wide-width
heavy-duty weaving machines, such as paper felt weaving machines.

d) Automatic restart after the machine has carried out process sequences such as
 broken pick removal,
 weft threading-in on feeder, or
 broken end (thread) repair,
shall only be permitted when
1) all guards and safety devices provided for normal operation are in position and/or active, and
2) an optical signal device has been activated during the execution of the sequence, with this signal
device required to be positioned so as to be visible and attract attention at the normal operating
position on the weaving machine, and to provide an unmistakable warning of the imminent automatic
restart of the machine.
Information shall be given in the instruction handbook concerning the need to give suitable training to
operators changing over to running automated machines.
e) Gear-wheels of warp let-off motions need not be safeguarded, provided that apertures therein are not
wider than 50 mm (see Figure 2) and an emergency stop control is provided within reach of the gear-
wheel.

f) Information relating to safe methods for insertion and let-off of beams shall be given in the instruction
handbook.
g) The instruction handbook shall contain a warning and a code of practice for operations on drive,
transmission and braking systems when an imbalanced load is present on Jacquard machines or dobbies.
h) For heavy-duty weaving machines of 8 m or more in width, category 3 or 4 according to of
ISO 13849-1:1999, Clause 6, shall be selected for the safety-related part of the control system.
i) Drawing-in points between rollers, rollers and on-running fabrics, and rough-surfaced rollers of weaving
machines, wherever the circumferential speed is less than 10 mm/s, need not be guarded if an
emergency stopping device is within easy reach over the whole working width.
